Varsity players, we are trying to put together out spring travel plans and need to get an idea of who can make a commitment to our out of town tournaments. Obviously, Paideia and Westerns are the most expensive trips and also the ones we need to plan the farthest in advance. We need to make non refundable deposits on airplane tickets, so we will not decide to travel unless we have firm commitments and DEPOSITS from anyone who plans to attend. The final cost has not been determined but airfare is very high to Portland and not that cheap to Atlanta either. Even with a substantial amount of our fundraising money being used to defray costs, expect the final amounts to be in the range of~$375.00-425.00 for Paideia and $500.00-$600.00 for Westerns. There has been some talk about a few other fundraising ideas specific to Varsity that could help lower the cost as well, but you guys would have to start working on that.
Please post as soon as possible if you are planning on traveling to either or both of these tournaments.
We need to make a decision about attending Paideia by next week in order to make our travel plans. I will need a $100.00 deposit by February 10th from each player who plans to attend if we have enough players available to make it possible for us to go.

All players should bring the following to every practice: cleats, a dark shirt, a WHITE (not gray) shirt, your OWN water, and a disc (if you have one). Dress for the weather. We play through all weather (if fields are playable) except thunder and lightning. Every HUrtem is responsible for being Toasty Warm, and for transporting their water/gear TO AND FROM the fields. We leave the field better than we found it

2014/2015 Potential Tournaments
The following Tournaments and approx dates are for PLANNING purposes only! I receive many requests for tournament dates, practice days etc... for the entire year. This is quite difficult to do however, I'm trying to inform parents/players as early as possible. I do not have exact dates/times for several events Unless our participation is marked CONFIRMED our involvement is contingent on our 'Bid' being accepted. This means players signed up accurately, parents signed up accurately and their availability to provides transportation and/or chaperone at these events.
NOTE: Many changes are happening with our 'traditional' tournament format. Events we always plan to participate at during the year have changed their dates, bid process or in one case, the tournament itself may not happen this spring. We are exploring alternate options as noted below. The list below is NOT COMPLETE. It is what I have at this time. Thanks, Debbi.

What is Hopkins Ultimate?
Mission: The goal of HUrt and HERt Force is to promote the sport of Ultimate within the Twin Cities through participation in, encouragement of, and recruitment for every level of Ultimate, including high school, club and college play. And, to strive for the highest level of competitive excellence in Ultimate.
What's Ultimate? Two teams of seven players compete on a field 70 yards long, 30 yards wide. Everyone is free to move, except the person with the disc. Upon catching the disc, you stop, and pass it within 10 seconds or it's a turnover. If someone drop the disc or it's intercepted, that's a turnover. Play rarely stops except for a score. A point is scored when a player catches the disc in an end-zone 25 yards deep. Typically, the first team to reach 15 points (with a two-point margin) wins, but there are some variations to cap the length of time played. The game is self-officiated.

What does the final cost estimate cover? Does that ammt. only cover airfare? If yes, what do you expect final cost for lodging etc.?
The final cost will include airfare, lodging, transportation during the tournament, tournament fees, coaches travel expenses, and some field snacks. The boys need their own money for any gear they want to buy, and a few meals, as there is a dinner provided on Saturday night for both of these tournaments, and breakfast both days. In Atlanta we stay at a host family's home so we don't incur hotel costs, helping us keep the price down a bit. I will send an email to varsity parents with more detiled informaion.
